This book tells you WHY October 25, 2008

If you're one of those people who needs to know WHY before you can begin, much less complete a task, you'll like how the authors of this guide break down each of the test components, and explain the most important thing about them (i.e. how to get the "correct" answer. What else do you really need to know?)
They acknowldege that standardized tests are not tests of ability or intellect or knowledge base, but merely a test of taking standardized tests. As a result, all you really need to know is how to take the GRE, by ultimately knowing WHY profit-based testing monopoly ETS asks you what they ask you.
This GRE guide covers all three sections of the test, and breaks each one down into their basic parts, tells you how to find the "correct" answer to each type of question you will encounter, and then explains why it is the 'best answer' (ETS refuses to say 'right' answer, because, well, it protects them from liability in case they are wrong. Experts don't write their test questons, after all).
Smart people who dislike standardized tests, and authority figures, wrote this book. I've used several of their study guides and always seek them out first. Theirs in never the most comprehensive guide available, but it's always the the most useful and helpful.
You will need other supplements for building your vocabulary, and accessing practice test questions (which can be found online for free).

This is a great book to get you started studying for the GRE's. It goes step-by-step and makes things a little less overwhelming.

The book contains very useful information, a set of vocab lists, and a lot of practice. I believe this is what helps the most. My only complaint is that in certain types of math problems, they teach you how to find the right answer without actually solving the problem. This bothers me- even if it takes longer to solve that way, I'd like to be able to do it. That said, I feel much more prepared thanks to this book.
Good start to study for the GRE September 19, 2008
